Historical significance

Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto 38 mm Salmon 18k sits within Laurent Ferrier's Sport Auto line, introduced in 2010. It carries the house codes established since 2010 — 18k white gold case, salmon dial and satellite-hour automatic — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

• The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.
• The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
• The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
